I've been really kinda lazy about project ichthy lately...just because my fishies have been doing REALLY well... =)
The new tank has been making a lot of progress!
1) The problem with the cloudiness has gone away, and the water's been crystal clear for the past week and a half...I've done a 10% water change twice now, and the cloudiness never reappeared! =)
2) I've added a new plant to the aquarium! and the fish took a day or two to adapt to it, but they're doing fine now...I actually added a few too many plants for a day or two, and the fish started to show agressive behaviour towards each other fighting over space! >< so in the end, I took the others out and just left one in, and they're happy as ever now! =) 3) I've noticed.....Fish are really metally challenged animals!!! =.=!! when i first added the new plants...they would swim up to the plant....look at it...and swim back....even though there was sufficient space between the leaves of the plant to swim through!!!!!!! -.-wtf???.....so bascially they just ignore 1/3 of the volume of the tank because there's this thing that's blocking their DIRECT path....they won't even swim around it!!! =.=....which i thought was the most idiotic but hilarious thing in the world!!! lol~~ they're slowly learning now~~ they are now swimming through the leaves of the plants and occupying all the space that is available to them~~
4) My black moor actually LOST A SCALE!!!! O.O yea...i don't know how it happened...but that was about a week or so ago...when i woke up, I found that there was a bright spot on his body..at first i thought it was ICH!! (OMG OMG OMG~~~PANIC!!!) but then when i looked closely, it was actually a missing scale!! i guess it the other fishies trying to be "friendly" to him huh? -.-yea...he's losing a bit of his colour now, which is really frustrating because i don't know what i'm doing wrong!! last week...he won't really eat or swim with the others but instead..he kept hanging out at the surface of the water...eating bubbles and aire.....it's so WEIRD!!...because i have the air pump in there and everything...so it shouldn't be a lack of oxygen...0.o....and then later i found out that he WOULD eat...it's just that you have to throw the food DIRECTLY above his mouth for him to gulp it in.....i have no idea WHY this is happening...so..still keeping an eye out for this little guy...but hopefully he will be in better conditions!
5) I've stired up the gravel a couple times due to the new plants and everything, and i was taken by surprise as to exactly how much POOP there was in the gravel!! 0.O it was quite disgusting actually....=S....so i'm really in need of a gravel cleaner ATM....
6) Speaking of buying more supplies...there was a day or two last week where it was REALLY cold in the early morning and during the night...I was really afraid that my fish would be in shock because the water temperature dropped too much..>< so i'm going to SOON get a heater for the tank and hopefully a digital one with a thermometer on it to keep the water temperature stable....@.@ that's gonna be a WHOLE lotta money again... *sigh* and perhaps even a few more air stones...and some T connectors.....T.T...
My smaller guppies and comet have grown significantly and noticeably since when i got them!! which i'm SOO happy about!! ^^
Who said you can't keep fantails and comest in the same tanks~?! Including the guppies, they're doing really well together as a community~~ and i'm very thankful that i didnt have to give up my comet in order to keep my two fantails and that i had the courage to just leave all of them in the tank and let the process of adaptation take place...*phew~ that was a scare~*
anyway~ there's a post that i wanna do about food and feeding my fish...but that shall be left for another time~~
That's it for now~ =)
